A must-have writing guide from the former editor of Writer's Digest.

The go-to reference guide for learning how to write in a concise, persuasive way.

Not since The Elements of Style has a writing guide had the ability to turn a writer's work around so effectively. Every writer struggles with keeping their prose focused and concise, but surprisingly few books address this essential topic. Write Tight is an informative and utterly readable guide with writing tips that tackles these issues head-on and teaches you exactly what to say and what to write.

William Brohaugh, former editor of Writer's Digest, goes beyond the discussion on redundancy and overwriting to take on evasiveness, affectations, roundabout writing, tangents and ""invisible"" words.

Other topics include- Outlining the four levels of wordiness Identifying 16 types of flabby writing Exercises that help writers avoid wordiness Streamlining through sidebars and checklists Tests that show how concise a writer's prose is

A must-have guide for those doing business writing, blog writing, technical writing, academic writing, creative writing, science writing, nonfiction writing, economical writing, or any kind of persuasive writing! Foreword by Lawrence Block, internationally renowned best-selling author.
